Hi all,
A reminder of our first BICEP2 team meeting of the new year, back at our
usual time today:
Tuesday 8 Jan 2013
9:00 am Pacific, 12:00 eastern, 6:00am Pole
Phone: 1-866-890-3820 (toll: 1-334-323-7229) Passcode:59702175
As the agenda below reflects, I expect we will have a very limited
pipeline discussion today. Walt, can you please take notes?
1) General business:
- online logbook updated for Nov/Dec? [Jon, Colin, …]
- status of getting B2 summer data onto odyssey [Walt, Colin]
- votes on telecon time for next 5 weeks: 9am or 11am Pacific?
2) Organizing efforts toward results:
BICEP2 operations are complete. We'll be reorienting these meetings
toward organizing our efforts to produce and publish results. As we
discussed in our last (28 Dec) meeting, we'll be starting to match
individuals with assignments for "final reports" on B2 sub-threads on
reduction and instrument characterization. These are an evolution of
the threads we started outlining in November.
On the B2 analysis call today Walt volunteered to start a separate index
page for these reports, which we see as roughly mapping into sections of
papers. Proposed guidelines:
1. unlike logbook postings, these documents get edited and updated
until we publish
2. each report connects the topic to what is needed for the B2
science results--what final numbers or tests are needed, and why.
3. review past experiments experience, esp. B1 approach
4. provide an overview of tasks remaining
5. summarize (with links) work done in postings, and where
appropriate summarize the existing B2 data.
6. Format can be either html or google doc. Authors should seek and
incorporate all group feedback to converge on a consensus doc, ready to
extract conclusions for publication.
Example report topics:
- thermal systematics
- magnetic systematics
- spectral response
- temporal transfer function
- RPS-derived polarization chi's and epsilons
- pol cal consistency checks from Yukical / pixel polrasters
- far sidelobes
...
To drive this forward we need your buy-in both on format and
assignments. Thread coordinators, please think about topics within your
threads that need reports. Those who can't join tomorrow, send feedback
and/or offers to take assignments.
Today we'll agree on format, organization of topics under threads,
and initial assignments. Walt will continue this process on next
Tuesday's meeting (I'll be in transit). For future meetings I hope we
can schedule reviews of specific reports.
3) B-spectrum Pipeline
limited attendance expected today
brief update on data reduction [Walt, Angiola]
brief update from Jamie T on few degree sidelobes T->P sims
(Jamie=monopole, Chris=quadrupole)
other updates from ongoing work
4) AOB

Hi gang,
It would be good to do better BICEP-2 PR. There were 8 or more ACT talks and several SPT
talks, and one each of SPTpol and ACTpol. Today on the arXiv there were 5 ACT papers.
I noticed several NSF people there. There was an NSF townhall mtg yesterday and and
another Townhall type meeting today.
I recommend we present more than one talk at the APS meeting in Denver in April....
With best regards,

We need BICEP2 results far more than we need BICEP2 PR right now.
Let's keep focused.

Of course.
But they're not mutually exclusive -- the people doing the dirty work (students and
postdocs) don't necessarily have to give the PR talks though they certainly can, and
should. A lot of the ACT talks were by senior members like Spergel and Niemack.
Also having presentation deadlines is a sure way to focus the entire team!

Hi all,
A reminder that we will have a B2 team meeting tomorrow at the usual
time: 9:00 am Pacific, 12:00 eastern, 6:00am Pole.
I hope folks at Pole can join. I will be in the air. Walt will run the
meeting (and the next 4 weeks), and will circulate an agenda ahead of
time. Here's a draft to start with; Walt will revise and add items as
needed:
1) General business (brief)
- panlfs cleanup effort, new space available, and planning for
possible upcoming ~1 week panlfs downtime
2) This week's report topic (~20-30 min)
Colin: RPS-derived polarization calibration
schedule report topics for next 2-3 weeks
3) updates on other threads (<20 min)
defer non-trivial discussion of new postings to (4) below
1-3 complete in < 1 hour
4) B-spectrum pipeline telecon
[ Clem, can you lead this discussion from Pole? ]

I have disabled all BICEP2 cron jobs on Odyssey. It should now be
possible to edit the copy of the observation logbook on Odyssey without
having it overwritten with the version from Pole.
The Keck Array cron jobs are still running, to copy data from
spud.spa.umn.edu and from the Harvard highbay.

Hi all,
Sorry for the late notice. We'll have our B2 team meeting at the usual
time and number today (in 5 min).
Let's try to move rapidly through the general business following last
week's agenda. If Jon has his FTS report ready to discuss we'll review
that. We'll try to start the pipeline discussion of new postings as
early as possible.

New subject: [Bispud-pipeline-list] BICEP2 Team meeting: station layout
I have updated my note with corrections to Sec. 1 (about the definition
of az=0) and added a new Sec. 5 with additional evidence that the USAP
map has a slightly inaccurate location for DSL. This explains the
discrepancy in the azimuth of the MAPO mast.

Thanks, Walt.
In answer to the question you raised about the pointing.init comments
"approx aligning cryostat zero deg with W (projects to sky to E)" I
believe that this referred to the encoder zero of TH, not AZ. As your
note now correctly states the AZ encoder zero is defined w.r.t. local N.

Walt says he may be sending instructions for a Google Hangout this week
as well.
Today's agenda will focus on reviewing AI's from last week's meeting.
There were quite a few, and we may not get through everything this week.
We are group-editing today's agenda into the telecon notes [
http://goo.gl/LNvpx ] right now--feel free to add items.

Hi everyone,
As John mentioned, I'd like to try to continue using the Google
Hangouts for slide sharing (but not for audio). I've started a new
Google Hangout here:
https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/1e4ef05297e1570e410a3be7d91d9930a4aefa97…
You should be able to connect at this link using your own Google Plus
account or the one that was created for the Harvard meeting:
username: bicepkeck(a)gmail.com
password: Harvard2013
I have shared a browser window (currently at the telecon notes page,
will try to follow notes and pagers as we discuss them). You should be
able to see this if you connect to the Hangout.
